Manky Magnets
Great pen for the money. It charges quickly and keeps you posted with coloured lights on how much charge is left. It’s my first such pen so I have nothing to compare it to. It’s accurate however and completely automatic without any pairing nonsense. My only moan is that the magnets appear to have been put it back to front and so it won’t align with the edge of my iPad and twists up and down which is a bit disappointing hence I took a star off. Otherwise very good.

Excellent product and a good price too!
This pen is feels like an Apple pencil and works brilliantly, it connected with no problem although you can't have both connected at the same time. The main reason for purchasing this is that I teach online and sometimes I forget to charge the Apple pencil so I needed a backup but I didn't want to shell out for another Apple pencil. For the price, this is a great alternative and I highly recommend it.

A worthy alternative to the Apple Pencil
I purchased this as a backup to my Apple Pencil Pro to use with the iPad Pro M4. Side by side the Metapen and Pencil Pro look identical (see pic enclosed). If it wasn’t for the charging status light and USB-C charging connector on the Metapen they would be as they share exactly the same dimensions. It’s only when you pick them up and use them that the differences become apparent. In the hand they feel and handle exactly the same even though the Metapen is slightly lighter, but only by a negligible 4grams. In use the Metapen lacks the some of the key features and functionality of the Pencil Pro, specifically the Haptic feedback, Double Tap, Squeeze, and Pressure sensitivity. If you are a serious artist or content creator you will benefit from these advanced features and functionality but for the vast majority of Pencil users like me, they are overkill. In all other respects the Metapen works just as well as the Pencil Pro. It’s robust, the magnet attaches firmly to the iPad, it holds its charge for hours of use, and it interacts with the screen with the same preciseness and latency. While I miss the instant functionality and wireless charging of the Pencil Pro, having to double-tap the top of the Metapen to activate it isn’t a major inconvenience. A word of advice if you decide to purchase and already own an Apple Pencil, both the Apple Pencil and Metapen work via Bluetooth, so if your Apple Pencil is already paired with the iPad, you will first have to disconnect it in Bluetooth settings, “Forget this device”, in order for the Metapen to pair with the iPad. I should add that my comments refer to the second, replacement Metapen I received as the first had a problem with the magnetic attraction being weak and not being fully compatible with the magnet polarity of the latest iPad Pro M4. It worked in all other respects though. Following an email exchange with Rosie at Metapen the problem was resolved in 24 hours and a new compatible A8 pen arrived the next day. The excellent service and support from Metapen together with my experience with the pen make it a worthy alternative to the Apple Pencil Pro, providing of course that you can live without some of the described functionality. But bear in mind that this functionality comes at a price with the Pencil Pro a hefty 158% more expensive, equivalent to almost 8 Metapens.

Blown Away!
Absolutely blown away by this stylus. For a fraction of the price of an Apple Pencil, it delivers everything you actually need – smooth writing, solid palm rejection, and zero lag. Setup was instant (no faffing with Bluetooth), and the battery life is seriously impressive. It feels great in hand, has a clean, premium look, and magnetically snaps on like the real deal. Unless you’re a professional artist who needs pressure sensitivity, this is a no-brainer. For note-taking, sketching, or everyday use, it’s basically 90% of the Apple Pencil for about 10% of the price. Genuinely one of the best value tech buys I’ve made. Highly recommend.

Who needs the Apple pencil
Fantastic little pencil. Feels very solid and well made, and is a pleasure to use. I’ve not had the opportunity to use the Apple Pencil but don’t feel the need to rush out and buy one after using this. No magnetic charging but the battery life is more than enough for a few days of use.

Great Value Note-Taking Stylus, Solid Alternative to Apple Pencil
I’ve been using the MetaPencil with my A16 iPad for about a month, mostly for note-taking, and I’m quite impressed. It feels light and premium, giving the sensation of a high-end stylus at a fraction of the cost of the Apple Pencil. For anyone who wants a reliable and stylish option without paying Apple’s price, this is a solid choice. The pencil works very well for everyday note-taking. It responds to pressure reasonably accurately and feels natural when writing or sketching quick diagrams. It isn’t as smooth as the Apple Pencil, and occasionally it can lag during intensive use, but for most tasks, it performs very satisfactorily. On the downside, the battery life isn’t outstanding, and the charging port doesn’t have a protective cover like the Apple Pencil does. These are minor inconveniences but worth keeping in mind if you plan to use it heavily or worry about wear and tear over time. Overall, I would recommend the MetaPencil for its value. It’s a great choice for students, casual note-takers, or anyone who wants a premium-feeling stylus without spending a lot. That said, if you write a lot or rely heavily on the Apple ecosystem, the Apple Pencil might be worth the extra investment since it’s smoother, more responsive, and better integrated with iPadOS. In short: excellent for the price, premium feel, solid performance, but the Apple Pencil still wins for heavy users.

Un excellent stylet pour l'iPad !
J'ai récemment acheté le Metapen A14, et je suis vraiment impressionné par sa performance ! Ce stylet de 2e génération est parfaitement compatible avec mon iPad, et j'adore la fonction de charge magnétique qui le rend super pratique à utiliser et à recharger. La sensibilité à l'inclinaison est incroyable, ce qui permet d'obtenir des traits variés et précis, que ce soit pour dessiner ou prendre des notes. De plus, le rejet de paume fonctionne parfaitement, ce qui me permet d'écrire ou de dessiner sans me soucier de toucher accidentellement l'écran avec ma main. Le design est élégant et léger, rendant son utilisation très confortable. Si vous cherchez un stylet performant pour votre iPad, je vous recommande vivement le Metapen A14. C'est un excellent rapport qualité-prix qui améliore vraiment l'expérience d'utilisation de l'iPad !

Nice pen! Nice quality and durability (battery and performance wise)
I bought his pen back in March for my IPad (10th gen) and kept it for quite some months. I did not really use it that much until two months, but when I did, it had some problems. Every time it would work discretely but also either make ---- lines or not write anything at all. Every time I had to go back to the part and write the text again. I did not do much about it for a while. Last month I contacted the Costumer Service via the WhatsApp number they have on their website. I explained the problems the pen had and they were quite friendly. They gave me the option to either 1) get a full refund or 2) get a new pen, because it seemed that the tip was defective. I chose the latter, as I needed the pen at that point. They asked me to send my info for the new order through Amazon, and then they shipped it! I did not have to send the defective one back or pay additional money for the new one. It arrived after a couple of days. I have been using it since then (about a month). It works perfectly! I have no problem that I previously had with the written lines, and the battery lasts quite some time. As you might read in the description, it shows different colours for how charged it is, but it also shows a red light when it is being charged and when it is completely charged it turns white. The charge does not take long (about 30 minutes for a full one, but you can leave it charging for 10 minutes to use it for a couple of hours). I have not seen a decrease in performance for the past month and also for the battery. The package is not really high quality (at least font and colours wise), and the plastic where the pen is on is also quite cheap, but other than these things, the pen feels and looks high quality. I also really like the fact that you can choose many different colours. I personally chose the purple one. The little cover for the USB-C charging port is quite useless for me as it's too bulky for my IPad cover.
